You're going to be waiting indefinitely. The BBC is currently being (deliberately) starved of cash by the UK government. World News brings in lucrative advertising and sponsorship revenue from around the world, it might not be huge amounts but it's extra income for the BBC. The News Channel brings in nothing and is another expense from a dwindling license fee pot. World News was never going to be cut or closed in favour of the News Channel.
I don't agree with the demise of the NC by the way, far from it. I'd like nothing more than to see the NC restored to how it was in 2012/13 after the move to NBH. But we need realism here, we are where we are, that's simply not going to happen.
If that's how long it takes, indefinitely is fine with me!
